Earlier this week, you practiced using repeated measures ANOVA models with SPSS and, ideally, used the Collaboration Lab to ask, answer, and otherwise address any questions you had. In this Assignment, you apply what you learned to answer a social research question using Repeated Measures ANOVA.
To prepare
Review the datasets provided.
Construct a research question based on one of those datasets.
Pay attention to the assumptions of this test, and ask, “Does it make sense to interpret the mean of this dependent variable?”
By Day 7
The Assignment
Use SPSS to answer the research question you constructed. Write an analysis in APA format, including title page, references, and an appendix, that includes your data output and addresses each of the tasks listed below. The content should be 2–3 pages, including setup of the assignment, results, and interpretation of results. Your SPSS output should be included as an appendix.
What is the null hypothesis for your question?
What research design(s) would align with this question?
What dependent variable was used and how is it measured?
What independent variable is used and how is it measured?
If you found significance, what is the strength of the effect?
What is the answer to your research question?
What are the possible implications of social change?
Early in your Assignment, when you relate which dataset you analyzed, please include the mean of the following variables. If you are using the Afrobarometer Dataset, report the mean of Q1 (Age). If you are using the General Social Survey Dataset, report the mean of Age. If you are using the HS Long Survey Dataset, report the mean of X1Par1Edu. See page 996 in your Warner textbook for an excellent APA-compliant write-up of a repeated-measures ANOVA.

Assignment 2: Article Critique
The practice of quantitative research not only involves statistical calculations and formulas but also involves the understanding of statistical techniques related to real-world applications. You might not become a quantitative researcher nor use statistical methods in your profession but as a consumer, citizen, and scholar-practitioner, it will be important for you to become a critical consumer of research, which will empower you to read, interpret, and evaluate the strength of claims made in scholarly material and daily news.
For this Assignment, you will critically evaluate a scholarly article related to repeated measures ANOVA.
To prepare
Review the Article Critique Assignment Guide in the Walden Library, listed in the Week 2 Learning Resources.
Search the Walden Library for a quantitative article that applies repeated measures ANOVA.
By Day 7
The Assignment
Write a 2- to 3-page critique of the research you found in the Walden Library that includes responses to the following prompts:
Why did the authors select repeated measures ANOVA in the research?
Do you think this test was the most appropriate choice? Why or why not?
Did the authors display the results in a figure or table?
Does the results table stand alone? In other words, are you able to interpret the study from it? Why or why not?

WEEK 7 NOTE
Week 7 Collaboration Lab - repeated measures ANOVA
COLLAPSE
Top of Form
Post here about repeated measures ANOVA. Can you imagine a design that would use repeated measures ANOVA?
HINT: You might want to use the High School Longitudinal study for your HW. That may be the only assigned dataset with repeated measures. This week, you may also use the Statistics Anxiety dataset for the repeated measures ANOVA assignment if you wish.
How to write up the results is discussed in section 22.16 of the Warner textbook.

In terms of time management, you should have found or be actively looking for a dataset at this point.
You can use any publicly available dataset. Or you can use one of the datasets posted in this classroom (except statistics anxiety dataset).
Anyone searching for a dataset should check out this resource: [source link omitted]
data.gov is another excellent resource.
